Some time ago, a friend commissioned me a watercolor painting of a special lady. Here is the final work, following a principle one of my watercolor masters repeated often: “never paint just a portrait, always paint a personality”

And that’s what I tried with this portrait. Quoting my very talented friend Vítor Sousa:

[There are women who descend from the sun. In the languid unconscious of the motherly womb, they sign a pact with fire. They are born already untameable, rebelling against the absorbing force of Prometheus, who rescues the fire from the recesses. Thew grow seeding cinders when they breathe. Sometimes, in a careless whim, lost kisses ignite fire to fate. Boiling, then, reminiscences from eternity barricaded in the aridness of absence. (…) There are women who descend from the sun. They are pyromaniacs of souls.]
